To be honest I don't see single game systems, including the portable variaty, as a seperate generation either. But, there really wasn't anything else to compare it to, except the Fairchild Channel F which was only out for a short time before the 2600 (and which, by all accounts, had terrible games), so they did at least dominate "home game systems" before the 2600 even came out.
Oh, I also think it's important to remember that Sega did temporarily take over the industry for a while until the SNES really came into it's own. After Nintendo once again took over, it seems Sega had a hard time getting exclusive games, as I notice trying to find decent titles I want to actually get for my old Genesis at used game stores.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
